Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

Trump has privately considered replacing Pam Bondi with Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, sources close to the matter told The New York Times

Attorney General Pam Bondi will be out of her role “imminently,” according to a report.

On Thursday, sources confirmed to Politico that Bondi is likely on the way out of the Donald Trump administration, and that Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin could be her replacement.

The Politico report comes hours after the New York Times reported that Trump has considered replacing Bondi over the backlash over her handling of the Epstein files, according to new reports.

I've not been paying close attention. Does this have something to do with the Supreme Court hullabaloo yesterday?

[–] riskable@programming.dev 9 points 1 month ago

No. It's because of the Epstein files.

Did she actually do the bare minimum of what she was legally required to do? No. Those lawsuits are pending because it's so fucking obvious she didn't release stuff (Congresscritters who had access to much of it came out and said so).

Did she intentionally try to hide Trump and his cronies presence in the Epstein files? Yes.

If she took all these steps, and put herself in legal jeopardy, just to protect Trump and his cronies, why is he still mad at her?

It's because she released them at all. I'm sure he was expecting her to delay the release forever. Or at least until all the lawsuits played out (which could complete after his term).

The underlying truth here is actually just the usual Trump stuff: He doesn't surround himself with competent people. He only chooses people based on perceived loyalty and whims.

She hasn’t been able to prosecute Trumps enemies successfully and has been unable to make the Epstein cover up not look like a cover up.
